14 March 2012 DEVIL'S BRIDGE Wednesday

Speak of the devil!

A fascinating place indeed, as legend has it that the devil built the original crossing in exchange for the first person to crossover, when a little old lady wanted to get her cow from the other side of the gorge.  She tricked him by throwing a stick across for her dog who then went first and the devil disappeared in embarrasement at having been outwitted by a little old lady.
The second crossing was built in the 1700's for cars and the most recent in the 1900's. 

It is a beautiful place to walk with waterfalls and even a robbers cave.

After our exhilirating walk down the gorge and back up again, we headed for the most isolated lake, Nant-y-Moch on a deserted lane for a picnic lunch.  If you look on location below, you'll see the bigger lake at the top of the map, that's the one we went to.
